  The concept of borderscape as an interdisciplinary tool

  Les chercheurs de l’axe académique prioritaire « MIS – Multilinguisme et Études interculturelles » de l’université du Luxembourg analysent les discours et les pratiques socioculturelles au croisement des langues et des cultures, les décalages diachroniques et synchroniques et s’intéressent depuis peu au traçage et au marquage de frontières, condensés dans le concept de borderscape. Le colloque MIS des 8 et 9 avril 2016 entend aiguiser cette notion et en mesurer les enjeux pour la recherche interdisciplinaire.

  Love, Lust and Longing: Rethinking Intimacy

  5th International Symposium of the International Network for Alternative Academia

  While discussion of sex become ever more common, opportunities to explore the nature of love are still rare. When the topic is raised, most often the focus is on dramatic experiences or hard cases. The “epic” and the “mundane” are probably more intertwined in our experiences of love than cultural speech and literature admit. Yet, an imbalance continues to exist: we reflect little on the smallness of events that sustain love bonds. What goes unexamined as such are the ways in which love is spoken of and enacted in everyday life. This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the lived experience of love considering the ways in which it is described and how it is practiced, identifying how love differs from and overlaps with concern, care, friendship and lust and raising questions about the ontology, expression and politics of love.
